In DAY OF THE MINOTAUR, modern
readers at last have an opportunity to rediscover the imaginative genius of
Thomas Burnett Swann, a writer whose works have been compared with the
marvel-packed sagas of J.R.R. Tolkien, the sweeping adventure-tales of Mary
Renault, and the sheer story-telling magic of Jack Vance and Edgar Rice
Burroughs. This is the novel of Eunostos, the last of an ancient and powerful
race of bull-men; of the Achaean conqueror Ajax; and of the beautiful Thea,
known as the Beast Princess. You will not soon forget these characters, nor the
unusual Bears of Artemis, the treacherous, bee-like creatures called Thriae,
and the rest of the humans and non-humans who come to the final battle in the
thunderous War of the Beasts. A world of wonder and excitement that will
grip your imagination from the first page to the last! (Amazon Description)
1588:
Queen Elizabeth is felled by an assassin's bullet. Within the week, the Spanish
Armada had set sail, and its victory changed the course of history.
1968: England is still dominated by the Church of Rome. There
are no telephones, no television, no nuclear power. As Catholicism and the
Inquisition tighten their grip, rebellion is growing. (Amazon) Kindle
Keith Robert's The Lordly Ones
offers a wide variety of sf and fantasy (and even a ghost story). The title
story is a vision of near-future Britain collapsing in social disorder told
from the viewpoint of a slow-witted lavatory attendant. Another take, "The
Comfort Station", approaches a similar situation from a quite different
perspective. In other stories we see Roberts in a more light-hearted vein:
"The Checkout", another of his series of stories about a modern-day
witch, Anita, or "Diva", a tale of singer of unique abilities. In
"Ariadne Potts" a man's wish brings a classical statue to life, with,
inevitably, unfortunate results. "The Castle and the Hoop" is an
atmospheric ghost story set around the pubs of Southwark. And
"Sphairistike" is perhaps the only sf story ever to centre on the
game of tennis. (Amazon) Kindle

Gormenghast
Titus is
expected to rule this extraordinary kingdom and his eccentric and wayward
subjects. But with the arrival of an ambitious kitchen boy, Steerpike, the
established order is thrown into disarray. Over the course of these three
novels—Titus Groan, Gormenghast, and Titus Alone— Titus must
contend with a kingdom about to implode beneath the weight of centuries of
intrigue, treachery, manipulation, and murder.Intoxicating, rich, and unique,
The Gormenghast Trilogy is a tour de force that ranks as one of the twentieth
century's most remarkable feats of imaginative writing. This special edition,
published for the centenary of Mervyn Peake's birth, is accompanied by over one
hundred of Peake's dazzling drawings. (Amazon) Kindle

865 A.D. Warring kings rule
over the British Isles, but the Church rules over the kings, threatening all
who oppose them with damnation. Only the dreaded Vikings of Scandinavia do not
fear the priests.
Shef, the bastard son of a
Norse raider and a captive English lady, is torn by divided loyalties and
driven by strange visions that seem to come from Odin himself. A smith and
warrior, he alone dares to imagine new weapons and tactics with which to carve
out a kingdom--and launch an all-out war between....The Hammer and the Cross.

Book of Science Fiction Stories
When Eve Pennington, Professor
of History of Science on business in England, buys a nineteenth century journal
at a London book auction on a whim because it is about Nantucket, where her
life changed as a teenager, the mystery begins. And like Sherlock Holmes (and
with the help of a loyal young bookman as her Watson), Eve determines to keep
the journal that a number of important people seem to want desperately enough
to steal and find out why they want it.
And in reading the journal, Eve
finds the seeds of a very great mystery indeed. For perhaps more than two
hundred years ago, several alien beings landed on earth in the oceans. One or
more of them may have died, but Eve determines that two of them were located
off the coast of Scotland and near a tiny island off Nantucket, and, further,
that these two have been influencing nearby human beings in strange and
sometimes wonderful ways. Perhaps, even Eve. (Goodreads) OpenLibrary

This is the kind of assortment that can hook a reader on short fantasy. Thirty-two good stories--some previously anthologized, some hot off the press ("Beauty and the Opera" by Suzy McKee Charnas appeared in July 1996), and a few once considered classic, but now nearly forgotten (Thomas Burnett Swann is rapidly falling out of sight)--offer entertainment for every taste. Many of the stories ("The Overworld" by Jack Vance, and "The Changeling" by Michael Swanwick) also offer continuation elsewhere as part of a longer work.
Gardner Dozois's emphasis is on magazine fiction. As such, it's an interesting view of the evolution and increasing sophistication of the "pulps"--and their readers. For this reason this would be an excellent text for a course on modern fantasy writing. Stories from Asimov Science Fiction Magazine, which Dozois edits, are prominent among the recent pieces. Providing a brief history of 20th-century fantasy, the introduction seems written with the new reader in mind. (GoodReads Description)
